Abstract
The spray–wall impingement process in gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, which is caused by the interaction among spray, wall and air to move the air–fuel mixture near the spark plug, directly influences the engine performance and emissions. Therefore, a detailed understanding of this process is very important in designing an injection system and controlling a strategy of GDI engines. The purpose of this study is to understand the spray–wall impingement characteristics for more efficient designing of the injection system in GDI engines and to supply the fundamental data under engine operation conditions. The wall impingement processes of hollow-cone fuel spray according to ambient gas conditions and wall geometry are calculated by validated spray models. The calculated results were compared with the experimental results obtained by the laser-induced exciplex fluorescence (LIEF) technique. It was found that the spray and vortex cloud at the high ambient pressure were distributed at inner area of cavity and the more fuel film mass observed at this condition. The fuel film mass decreased with the increase of ambient temperature, while the fuel film mass increased at high cavity angles.
